OB370 Reliable Retrieves
Instructor: Sara Brueske
This class will cover all of the pieces needed to train a reliable obedience retrieve. We will begin by teaching each piece of the behavior chain including the hold and front position. Then we will work to put the pieces together to produce a reliable retrieve. The instructor feedback will be catered to help your dog earn top points on their retrieve exercise regardless of their obedience venue.
FE345 You Can Do It
Instructor: Julie Flanery
Are you ready for the next step in your journey with your dog? Are you ready to communicate in a way few have explored? You’ve heard of it! You know you want to do it! You can! And so can your dog! Teaching dogs the concept of mimicry has come to the attention of many dog trainers through the work of Claudia Fugazza and Ken Ramirez. In this course, you’ll explore the cognitive abilities of your dog and how they view your behavior in relation to their own. You’ll learn a step-by-step protocol to teach your dog to mimic your behavior and then transfer that understanding in the teaching of new, unknown behaviors. In teaching your dog to imitate and mimic the behaviors you demonstrate, you'll achieve a unique way to connect and communicate to your dog, and I can’t wait to share that with you!

WW612 Duration Nose Touch: The Gateway to Stillness and Hold
Instructor: Heather Lawson
Oftentimes, we need another behaviour to turn the lightbulb on and bridge the gap of understanding for our dogs. This is why I love a duration nose target! It's one of those behaviours that is simple but greatly underappreciated. Who would ever think the lowly duration nose touch could be your gateway breakthrough to teaching and transferring the concept of HOLD, otherwise known as STILLNESS, to other behaviours? In this workshop, you'll learn how to get a simple duration nose touch and how it can have a dramatic effect on your dog’s understanding and application of hold for other behaviours. Once our dogs understand the concept of holding position through a duration nose target, they very quickly learn to apply it to other behaviours. Get your duration nose touch, and the often pesky hard-to-get stillness behaviours you've been struggling with will begin to make sense to your dog.

Incredibly informative and helpful class. I am a crossover student, with 35 yrs experience training the "traditional" way. This is a challenge for me! But I have seen significant improvement in my dog's problem areas, so I am now committed to learning these training techniques; I'm starting over with her, having lots of fun and learning new things as fast as I can keep the clicker going! I have high expectations for achieving all of my performance goals using the Fenzi Academy to help me get there. I can't wait for my next class!! Really enjoyed the course! I'm still catching up, but am already looking forward to the next class. So useful, especially if you don't have a really good positive methods trainer where you live!! Helped my dog revive his enthusiasm for working.
Read all testimonialsI've taken a number of classes by a number of instructors at FDSA. I appreciate how well they overlap, and that the message is often the same despite who's teaching.The FDSA online site is so great! Not complicated; it has been easy to use. I am really impressed with Denise's mission to bring into her Academy absolutely top-notch instructors! Plus, I really love the 3-tier options for her students! With these options, the online courses are affordable for everyone that is interested in improving their dog training skills and building the best relationship with their dog(s) -- whether they do, or plan on doing dog performance sports, or just want to spend time with their dog and have a well-trained dog ... a dog that is a wonderful representative to the community at-large....all achieved with positive training methods! The depth of knowledge that i am getting from the classes I am taking is invaluable. It has opened a door to training and overall learning for me that I wouldn't be able to get elsewhere. I am in a power wheelchair and finding transportation to classes is often difficult for me. These online classes have given me the guidance I've needed to stay focused and motivated to work with my dog.
Read all testimonialsI am continually amazed at how much I learn with each class. Watching both the teacher's video's and the student's videos gives me lots of opportunity to think through the elements and break it down for myself and my dog.
